JOSEPH Torn, AMBROSIUS BELEZNAY, AND JOHN LIPTAK, or PITTSBURG,

' PENNSYLVANIA.

- SPRING BEDBOTTOM- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOSEPH T'rH, AM- BnosiUS BELEZNAY, and JOHN LIPTAK, subjects of the King of Austria-Hungary, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of -Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spring Bed-Bottoms, of which the following is a specification, referencebe'ing had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to sprlng bed bot-V tom, and the object of our invention is to provide a removable spring bed bottom consisting of two sections hinged whereby the Sections can be folded to occupy a comparaivaely small space when removed from'the We attain the above object by providing a Spring structure that can be yieldably mounted in the trarne of a bed to sustain considerable weight, the spring being preferably made of light and durable metal with the parts thereof assembled to provide -a simple and inexpensive construction.

Our invention will be hereinafter considered in detail and then claimed, and reference willnow be had to the drawings form- 'ing part ,og this specification, wherein there is illustra ed a preferred yembodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that the structuralelements thereof can be varied or changed, as to the size, shape and manner of `assemblage without departing from. the spirit and scope of the invention.

In the drawings Fignre 1 is a side elevation of a bed provided with a spring bed bottom in accordance with .this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, Fig. 3 is an end view of the spring bed bottom, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view ofv one of the spring units, and Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view of the same.

A spring bed bottom constructed in accordance with our invention comprises two rectangular sections A and B, each section comprising super-imposed frames and each frame havin longitudinal slats 1 and 2, and transverse s ats 3. The longitudinal slats 1 are of a greater length than the longitudinal slats 2, and the lower slats 1 are hin ed or pivotally connected, as at 4, whereby t e sections can be folded together. 'The longitudinal and transverse slats'1,2 and 3 are adapted to be riveted or otherwise connected, as at 5, and between the longitudinal slats 1 Specification of Letters Patent.

being varranged with the open ends thereof confronting to form an opening 8 for. the band 6.

Between the transverse slats 3 of the upper and lower frames are arranged resilient units, comprising Hat springs 9 rivetedor otherwiseconnected, as at 10 to the lower' transverse lslats 3, these lat springs having the ends thereof curved upwardly to loosely engage in straps 11 carried by the under,

face of the upper slats 3.

Besides yieldably support-ing the u per frames of the sections A and B relative y to the lower frames thereof, we provide-addiltional means for yieldably supporting Vthe spring relatively to the post 12 .of a bed. The outer ends of the lower frames of the sections A 'and B are connected by coiled v springs 13 to the post 12, theV springsy 13 being anchored at a point above the bed spring, as at 14, the said springs 13 cushioning the downward movement of the entire bed spring. An.. upward movement of the 'bed' spring is retarded by coiled springs 15 se-y cured to the outer ends of the Sections A and B and 'connecting with the feetr 16 of the post 12, these two sets of springs 13 and 15 normally supporting the bed spring adjacent to theside vrails 17 of the bed. j

Having now described our invention what we claim as new, is'z- 1. A spring bed bottom consisting of a pair of hinged sections each comprising a pair of superposed Sets of longitudina lyextending slats with the outer slats of each set of greater length than the others of the set, a pair of superp'osed sets of transverselyextending slats and with one of thev slats to the slats of the upper set of transverse slats and extending around the curved ends of said elements for loosely connecting said ends to the upper set of transVersely-extendl section to the other.

ing slats, said straps disposed longitudinally with respect to said bed bottom, verticallydisposed resilient bands interposed between the sets of longitudinal slats and extending at right angles with respect to said elements, transversely-extending straps secured to the inner faces of the slats of each of the sets of longitudinal slats and extending around said bands forl loosely connecting them to said slats, combined with means for hinging the elongated longitudinal slats of one section to the other.

2. A spring bed bottom consisting of a pair of hinged sections eachv comprising a pair of superposed sets of longitudinallyextending slats, a air of superposed sets of transversely-exten ing slats and with one of the sets secured to a set of longitudinal slats and with the other of the sets secured to the other set of longitudinal slats, resilient elements interposed between the sets of transverse slats and each consisting of a body portion and a pair of curved ends, means for ixedly securing the body portions of said elements to the slats of the lower set of transverse slats, straps secured to the slats of th'e upper set of transverse slats and extending around the curved ends of said elements for loosely connecting said ends to the upper set of transverse slats, vertically-disposed resilient bands interposed between the sets of longitudinal slats and extending at right angles with respect to said elements, straps secured to the inner.

faces of the slats of each of the sets of longitudinal slats and extending around said bands for loosely connecting them tov said slats, combined with means for hinging one 3.

In testimony whereof we afdx our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
